Japanese netbook company Kohjinsha and Bandai are joining forces to produce a limited edition netbook aimed at Japanese kids – the Gachapin and Mukku Netbook. Gachapin and Mukku are popular TV characters in Japan and the two companies are hoping to cash in on the popularity of the two cuddly creatures by creating a lime green netbook which is based on the Kohjinsha ML netbook series.

Specifications for this limited edition model include an 8.9 inch display, Intel Atom processor, 1 GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD and a TV tuner and it is priced at 79,900 Yen which is roughly $870 US and 20,000 Yen more than the Kohjinsha ML netbook – quite expensive for the same specs and a lot of brightly colored branding.  This one is definitely for the kids unless you have the need for a funky green netbook that is.
